The Simplicity Framework

The Simplicity Framework:
5 Laws of Clear Communication.

Clear communication is the art of making one complicated idea easy to understand. The Simplicity Framework breaks it into five teachable laws every leader can run on any message before they speak.

  1. The Law of the One.

    Every talk leaves them with one big idea.

  2. The Law of the Path.

    Each idea connects to the last one and the next one.

  3. The Law of the Cut.

    Less is more.

  4. The Law of the Listener.

    Simplicity is measured from the seat, not the stage.

  5. The Law of the Mirror.

    A simpler version that means something different is a different idea.

About MJ

Analytical thinking.
Contagious enthusiasm.

MJ Pittman is a leadership communication speaker, coach, and author who's traveled the world speaking on stages of every size. Today he teaches emerging leaders how to communicate so they become the leader people actually want to listen to.

After thousands of speaking engagements over the last two decades, MJ knows the science and the strategies behind communication that sticks. He's also lived the business side of it, generating millions in revenue selling financial services across banking and insurance, then millions more selling his own products to colleges and universities. The throughline across every room, deal, and stage was the same: leaders who can move people win. The ones who can't, don't.

With a background in engineering, theater, and financial sales, MJ brings analytical rigor and contagious enthusiasm to every room he walks into.
